Swarm was the first record released by Mike Knapp, under the name Xpando, in 1993. Mike released a number of great releases throughout the 90’s, under various aliases, often collaborating with Jason Blakemore (aka DJ Trance) and Eric Davenport on his Bassex Records label.

Raindance was released in (I believe) 1992, by Los Angeles DJ/Promoter Destructo and Mar Co on Destructo Records. The a-side mix is labeled as “Destruction Mix”, but the run out is etched “Techno Mix”. It’s all about the Tribal Mix on this record though, one of the better old school techno tracks to come out of Los Angeles. (Correction: The Destruction Mix is in fact my preferred mix. That break is one of my favorites)

“There Are Dreams And There Is Escape”, by James “Jack Rabbit” Martin, was released in 1988 on the Chicago label Yoton. It’s an incredibly rare and sought after acid house record, and ranked 60 on the Top 100 list of the most expensive records sold on Discogs. My copy isn’t for sale.

I first heard Barry Weaver play “Deep Inside” from this EP on KSPC 88.7, in 1992 or 1993, and the hunt was on until I finally found a copy in 1994. I was thrilled when I put the record on to find all four tracks were killers. I still have that tape somewhere… in the meantime, hope you enjoy these tracks!
